Feasibility
The process would be taken up based on the feasibility in terms of the level of water table. The farmers can also avail a second chance, in case of a failure to draw water in the first attempt. The government also developed a software application to monitor and implement the programme and applicants would get text messages about the status, said the Minister.
Describing the government as farmer-friendly, the Minister said the scheme was another leap towards making Andhra Pradesh a ‘Rythu Rajyam’.
Sinking of borewells was announced by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy during his pre-election padayatra and was a part of his 'Navaratnalu’ poll promise. Though only sinking of borewells was promised during the padayatra, the government decided to supply motors and other equipment also free of cost, he added.
It may be recalled that the programme was formally launched by Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy through video conferencing in the last week of September.
